"...Hm?!"
Naifertali gasped in surprise upon hearing this.
Though the first two secrets were also completely beyond her expectations,
they were nothing compared to the shock that the third secret brought her.
—Annan Winter?
As a student of the Bone Healer, Seti, of course she knew this name.
And she knew more about it than the average person...
Annan was the most beloved younger son of Duke Ivan, the future Duke of Winter, and the true inventor of the internal combustion engine.
He also had close relationships with several True Gods. Known as the "Beloved of the Chalice," "The Favored by the War's Crimson," "The Protected by the Dice," "The Silent One," "The Untraceable Monster," he was a candidate for sainthood recognized by the Eye of Patience, and the "Hatchling Dragon" most dearly loved by his grandmother.
He was known as the most talented Ritualist in history. Even before the purification of his soul, he had already reached the highest realm a Ritualist could attain.
